A company that operates ships laying sections of a new German-Russian pipeline says it is suspending those activities after the approval of U.S. legislation threatening sanctions.

The U.S. has been an outspoken opponent of the pipeline, which will transport natural gas about 1,200 kilometers . Along with eastern European countries that also oppose the project, the U.S. government argues that it will increase Europe’s dependence on Russia for energy. Construction of the pipeline is already well advanced, and it wasn’t immediately clear what the impact will be. Nord Stream 2 spokesman Jens Mueller said in an emailed statement that “completing the project is essential for European supply security.”
